WIsH predicts the hosts of phages from their genomic sequences. It achieves 63% mean accuracy when predicting the host genus among 20 genera for 3 kbp-long phage contigs. WisH is also fast and accurate on phage sequences of a few kbp, makin

From the Center for Phage Technology, via Twitter: "Are you interested in attending a potential 1-day workshop and training session on the use of the CPT's Galaxy-Apollo platform for phage genome annotation? The workshop would likely run in

The Mostowy lab at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland is hiring a postdoc to work on bioinformatics and genomics of phages that infect opportunistic bacterial pathogens like Klebsiella pneumoniae and interact with their polysacch

Hayley Nordstrom (University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine) and colleagues published a preprint showing genomic and functional characterization of P. aeruginosa-targeting phages isolated from hospital wastewater. They used a panel of cli

Graça Pinto (University of Minho) and colleagues published a new paper in BMC Genomics showing insights into the genome architecture and evolution of Shiga toxin encoding phages of E. coli.

Ryan Cook (University of Nottingham) and colleagues published a new paper describing INfrastructure for a PHAge REference Database (INPHARED): a way to identify large-scale biases in the current collection of phage genomes. It includes a sc

“What the Phage” combines bacteriophage identification tools with downstream annotation and classification in a parallel Nextflow workflow. It scales to thousands of datasets and helps users assess cases where tools disagree. bioRxiv

Ever wondered about phage abundance, diversity or geographic patterns of phage-host interactions in an urban setting like New York City? Kristen Gulino (New York University) and collaborators published a new paper in mSystems showing the in

Katarzyna Leskinen (University of Helsinki) and colleagues published a new paper in Viruses on how they determined the genome of a non-sequenceable Yersinia phage YerA41 via RNA-sequencing.
